British Update: Spider-Man Comics Weekly – ‘Deaths’ of Gwen Stacy & Green Goblin and Punisher Debut
*Marvel UK: From 1976, three issues of Spider-Man Comics Weekly, during its ‘landscape’ run when the cover title was ‘Super Spider-Man With The Super-Heroes’ following mergers and format changes. The three editions have increased dramatically in price over the last few years, as they are the first reprintings of US Spider-Man issues which featured critical turning points in the life of everyone’s favourite Web-Head. Issue #170 reprints Spidey #121, the death of Gwen Stacy at the hands of the Green Goblin, and #171 reprints #122, with the subsequent demise of the Goblin himself. Issue #178 follows up on the rarities by re-presenting US Spidey #129, the premiere appearance of everyone’s favourite cuddly assassin, Frank Castle, the Punisher!
